After a day when off-the-court hearings and name calling represented all that can be wrong about high school sports, Mouth of Wilson (Va.) Oak Hill and Elizabeth (N.J.) St. Patrick put on a show they reminded everyone of all that is right.

The defeat marked the end of a tough day for St. Patrick. That afternoon, it was banned from playing in the state tournament (read story here).

The game was decided at the foul line.

Oak Hill's Doron Lamb had one of two from the line with 9.4 seconds remaining to give Oak Hill its one-point lead; St. Patrick's Derrick Gordon missed a pair with 0.4 seconds left that could have tied it or sent it into overtime.

The Star-Ledger, on its Web site, nj.com, described it as a game played above the rim ... way above the rim (read its coverage) here.
